Dario Franchitti injured in huge IndyCar crash

I'd like to send my best wishes to those involved in Sunday's IndyCar Houston race two crash. Former F1 driver Takuma Sato was racing Dario Franchitti when his car went loose, catapulting Franchitti over the top of Sato's car and into the catch fencing.

Sato's car was then hit by E.J. Viso but both emerged unscathed. However IndyCar confirmed that Franchitti suffered a concussion, a fractured right ankle and a spinal fracture that won't need surgery. 13 fans and one series official suffered minor injuries from flying debris after parts of the catch fencing broke down. I wish a speedy recovery to all those involved.
